See conditions — such as tide, wave height, wind and surf rating — for each of the five nearest surf spots, when paired with the Garmin Connect app on your compatible smartphone.
SURFLINE SESSIONS APP
Instinct 2 Solar – Surf Edition works with Surfline Sessions, which creates a video of every wave you ride in front of your Surfline camera, so you can watch them later and see how you did.
WINDSURFING ACTIVITY
Use this activity profile to track your GPS position, speed, distance and heart rate while windsurfing.
KITEBOARDING ACTIVITY
On top of tracking your GPS position, speed, distance and heart rate while kiteboarding, this profile measures your elevation, so you can see jumps on a chart during and after the activity.
Stay mission-ready.
BUILT-IN FLASHLIGHT (Instinct 2X Only)
To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multi-LED flashlight provides variable intensities and strobe that matches your running cadence — plus a green light mode to help keep an eye on your immediate surroundings while operating at night.

Switch between daytime view and nighttime view with a screen designed to be read by night vision goggles.
STEALTH MODE
Go dark by enabling stealth mode to stop storing and sharing your GPS position and disable wireless connectivity and communication.

DAILY WORKOUT SUGGESTIONS
For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily recommendations based on your current training load and training status.

Know your body.
WRIST-BASED HEART RATE
Get estimated heart rate3 data along with alerts if your heart rate stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. Gauge how hard your heart is working during activities.
STRESS TRACKING
Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.
SLEEP SCORE AND ADVANCED SLEEP MONITORING
Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your sleep score and insights.
BODY BATTERY ENERGY MONITORING
Optimize your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

This feature uses chronological age, your weekly vigorous activity, resting heart rate and BMI to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are. Get tips to lower your fitness age.
INTENSITY MINUTES
Track how many minutes of vigorous activity you’re getting, when you earn them and during what activity. You can even view them as a data field during timed activities.
HYDRATION TRACKING
Log daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. When auto goal is enabled, you’ll even see estimated sweat loss after an activity, and your goal will adjust accordingly.
